A nice surprise

I’ve been rather slow in getting around to thanking Joanne for the wonderful surprise she gave me last week when she sent me The Beautiful Blogger Award. I shall do my best to live up to this prestigious title, though I’ve been such a slack blogger lately, I don’t feel like I deserve it!

Now the hard part – choosing ten more worthy recipients. Don’t get me wrong. I could give this to twenty blogs and still miss some that deserve it. But who to give it to? Choosing is the hard part. Some blogs I read just don’t seem the sort to want this type of award. Others I know, have been even less active than me lately. However, I will do my best. In no particular order -

Sorry, that’s only 7. But they’re the ones that spring to mind. That’s the downside of these awards. I’m bound to have missed someone who’ll think ‘Why didn’t she pick me?’ and chances are, I should have done, because all the blogs I read are really great. Apologies in advance to anyone I missed. The fault is mine, not yours.

Thanks, Kate. What a nice surprise.I'll have to figure out how to do the same for the blogs I love.

Umm, how did you do it? :)

Oh, when I checked my list of blogs, I noticed yours was missing. I don't know how that happened because I recieve your updates. I must have forgot to hit save when I added it to the list. Well, it's back there now.

Trees Are Not Lollipops

This is my motto, first heard when I was five years old and asked to draw a tree. Our teacher looked at all the drawings we'd done and said, "They're lovely, but remember trees are not lollipops". She made us look at trees more closely and see what they really looked like. It helped me with my drawings, but now I apply it to everything. I don't accept what other people say about something or someone until I've looked carefully for myself.
